Hello All
I have a 1987 Yamaha Warrior that i picked up. The previous owner said it ran perfectly fine before he stored it for the winter. Well when i got it home i tried firing the warrior up no no avail. So i disconnected the Orange Wire that runs to my coil and put a light tester and cranked the motor over. Nothing, the light tester did not show any signs of light. If the stator or rectifier is bad will there be no light on the light tester as the motor is turning over? I did pull the stator case and look for any burn marks or anything, it looks perfect. So how can i fully tell if its the stator, pickup coil, or the stator source coil. Or if its just the rectifier? I had to install a different key switch b/c it was missing one So i took the wires that turn the machine ON and wired them to the key switch. When i turn the key on my neutral light does come on.
One last thing also to mention, I have to jump the starter solenoid, b/c the start button on the handle is not working properly. I think that is b/c the solenoid is bad. So if anyone can maybe direct me in a direction to go to figure out exactly what it can be.
